- Fortec Ultra
Hello .. i would like to get some informations in to how to install a dish. I bought a fortec star of 80 cm, a moteck motor, a pansat 2700a receiver and i would like to put that damn dish up and to position it so I can get any damn bird or satellite or whatever its name is. in the past 3 days i got frustrated because i don't know how to caculate the azimuth, how to find the true south, what the heck is the true south anyway ? and why do i need it ? and if i use thw motors chart to put the dish at the elveation or latitude that is there, plus the declination of the angle on the dish, what do i resolve with that ? in that moment will it be positioned to a certain satellite or it's just to have it up to a reference point? and let's day i put it up at the elevation and the declination , now what ? i have a comopass but if i don't know where is my TRUE south how would that affect in nayway finding a satellite ? I already lost myself now in these questions but if you can help me somehow, honestly that will help me stay sane.
thank you
